Welcome to the October AusPol thread! Abandon all hope ye who enter here!

Didn't we get a new PM last month? Will we get another this month? Maybe it's time to review the players...



Prime Mobster of Australia, Leader of the Laceration Party, Scott Murderson

After a dark and stormy night in Castle Canberra, Malcolm Burnbull was backstabbed by Potato Dirt-on but this only lead to Scummo getting the leadership. Despite the Coalition literally shutting down parliament during this saga, recently told Barrie Cassidy that the "ABC should stop talking about itself and get back to work".



Leader of the L-aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh-bor party, Thrill Sharten

Formed from pieces of faceless men in the basement of the Labor Party caucus, Thrill Sharten is the ultimate small target opposition leader. Despite all reports, is actually ALLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE.



Groans Leader, Richard Do Nutally

Wants to socialise everything! Oooooooo, spooky!



United Australian Party, Clive Dahmer

Keeps interrupting the footy, the monster. Doesn't actually have any policies (or a party?)


Pauline Hanson

Scary enough on her own, although Fraser Anning is coming for her crown.

You see, the best way to Stop the Boats is a massive swarm of autonomous armed dogs. Strafing a few boats will stop the rest and save many lives in the long term.

You can't make an Omelet without breaking a few eggs. Vote Greens.
This week in loving stupid ideas, an apartment block in North Freo is going to get a landing pad for flying taxis and delivery drones.

Speaking of, what's the legislation surrounding drones? And how happy are folks going to be with them flying over their houses and back yards? Perth already has a problem with folks going "Noo the poors in apartments will have views into my yard so we should have low density forever".

You can harass and stalk your ex wife using a drone and not breach an AVO or similar.

Exploration is ill-advised.
'Folks' is a useful word, though. And it's one syllable, handy for Australian linguistic laziness.

unless you're american, in what possible sense does it serve any purpose not covered by 'people' aside from giving me the shits

I say folks when I'm referring to a large group, as I used to say "guys" which was an issue for obvious reasons.

i now say y'all instead of guys, or all y'all to address everyone.
